A Wonderful Problem

Tonight we have a baptism for Edgar Lopez, the husband who surprised his wife the day he announced "I am going to church!"  Now they will be a whole family in the church with a goal of being sealed in the temple for both time and eternity!  The only problem is that the other ward that meets in our building is also having a baptism today and so we have to take turns and ours is later tonight at 7:00!  We can stand having so many baptisms that they have to wait in line:)  I always wonder why the missionaries' biggest problem isn't trying not to catch pnuemonia from being wet in the font all day long.  The message of the restored gospel is the biggest event since Christ lived on earth!  But we baptize slowly, one at a time.

Glen was truly inspired a couple of months ago when he thought that it would be great to have the Spanish speaking Patriarch come up from Fresno for a Spanish fireside.  The response has been great.  The fireside is tomorrow night and we already have to open the church house early because three people have already signed up to receive their blessings before the meeting! The members who already have their Patriarchial blessings can use a refresher course and others can learn how amazing it is to have a personal message from Heavenly Father to guide them throughout their lives. As I get older it is interesting to see how those things mentioned in my own blessing have come to pass and will yet come to pass. I have a strong testimony through my Patriarchial Blessing that God knows and loves me.
